I’ve posted a few threads on this but DD2 is due next week and we are still undecided on a name. Below are the 3 I think we have narrowed it down to so just after some opinions please! Also open to suggestions.

DD1 is called Sylvie.

Pearl Alexandra
Nancy Primrose
Olive Elizabeth

Thanks :)

Sylvie is a lovely name. I really like Olive Elizabeth. Congratulations!

Hannah021 · 01/04/2020 20:25

I like Olive Halo

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 01/04/2020 20:25

Pearl Alexandra. Although I prefer it the other way around. Alexandra Pearl.
I think Pearl is a better fit with Sylvie, though.
Other suggestions.
Nancy Olivia
Martha Lily
Vera Grace
Flora Rose

Pearl and Olive are two of my FAVOURITE names. So beautiful!! And work so well with Sylvie
Nancy I’m not as keen on but is ok.

Suggestions in similar vein:

Margaret
Edith
Jemima
Martha
Margot
Delilah
Clementine

I like Pearl and it goes beautifully with Sylvie.

TheVanguardSix · 01/04/2020 20:56

Sylvie and Pearl!
But equally, Sylvie and Olive is so so so sweet.
You can’t go wrong with either!
I think I’m leaning towards Olive.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 01/04/2020 21:01

Not wild on any of them but Nancy Primrose sounds the best. The other two don’t really flow as well I don’t think.

villamariavintrapp · 01/04/2020 21:09

Love olive!

Mumoftwoyoungkids · 01/04/2020 21:25

Just to be awkward I really like Alexandra on your list. Sylvie and Alexandra sounds nice together.

IceKitten · 01/04/2020 21:26

Olive Elizabeth is my favourite

Whatsyourflava · 01/04/2020 22:16

Such a lovely list. Please let us know what you pick

DramaAlpaca · 01/04/2020 22:19

All of them would be good with Sylvie.

My personal favourite is Olive, with Pearl next.

I'm not keen on Nancy.

bridgetreilly · 01/04/2020 23:08

Nancy Primrose.

Sweet and springlike. Lovely.

Astronica · 01/04/2020 23:54

Nancy Primrose is my favourite, Peal Alexandra 2nd choice. I dislike Olive.

finallychangedmyusername · 02/04/2020 10:24

Nancy Primrose

PlantPotting · 02/04/2020 10:33

Love them especially Pearl and Olive 😍

user1493494961 · 02/04/2020 11:07

Prefer your middle names.

SnowdropFox · 02/04/2020 13:08

Preferred combo is Nancy Primrose then Pearl then Olive. Do love Pearl just not with that middle name.

@snowdropfox I think I’m leaning towards Pearl too but open to any middle name suggestions that would flow better :)

I love Alexandra and Eizabeth but that’s it!
Olive is horrible

KellyMarieTunstall2 · 02/04/2020 14:35

Pearl is lovely with Sylvie
Olive seems to plain in comparison

WildCherryBlossom · 02/04/2020 14:36

How about Pearl Primrose?

missyB1 · 02/04/2020 14:38

Sylvie and Nancy go well together. I’m afraid I don’t like Pearl or Olive at all.

TerribleCustomerCervix · 02/04/2020 14:41

Loooove Nancy!

Pearl is lovely as well.

Not keen on Olive- it feels very drab next to Sylvie.

PlantPotting · 02/04/2020 14:45

Pearl Clementine @MrsCantthinkofaname

Love the name Pearl
